      IMHO
      They should have a 2nd channel “gg2”, “mark and gasoline”, “gears and mark”, “mark’s gears” or whatever
      Make it all the buying cars/receiving them at the shop, behind the scenes, maintenance(fluid changes, brakes, his car, etc), little finicky things, tips/tricks, learning/figuring out new things etc
      He’s pretty good on camera…why not give him extra screen time, and at the same time add profit to the channel…by making a second channel?
      Almost every other car RUclipsr has one…but give Mark the main host/focus on this one, I’d watch it

    As a car guy who wrenches and DIY everything, this looks like a bit of a dream job. Working in nice shops but not having to do random customer cars all day like most mechanics. Obviously there are deadlines and such for various work, but it still looks cool to me, as an office professional who has to find time (and the space) to work on my own fleet.
